The press release is below from the Amerks announcing the addition of Scott Campbell and Igor Gongalsky. Marcus Foligno was also sent down by the Sabres. The chances of Foligno playing are very slim, this would be his fifth game in six nights if he plays and that’s something no team wants a player going through. I think everyone would be all for him playing, we’ll see at game time what the coaches decision is.

Out of the two players added Scott Campbell appears to be the one with more of an offensive upside. Campbell has scored 9 goals and 8 assists in 28 games with the Las Vegas Wranglers. Gongalsky was recently released from a PTO with the Portland Pirates where he played in 13 games and had one assist. He also played in 54 games with the Pirates last season and tallied four goals and six assists. We’ll see what they can do tonight.

(Rochester, NY)… The Rochester Americans announced today that the team has signed forward Scott Campbell of the ECHL’s Las Vegas Wranglers and forward Igor Gongalsky of the ECHL’s Gwinnett Gladiators to professional tryouts.

Campbell, 25, has appeared in 27 games for Las Vegas this season, recording 16 points (9+7) and 19 penalty minutes to rank fifth on the team in scoring and fourth in goals.
